Ep 24 - Deadlifts, DeLoreans & Deception

We dive into our coffee obsession, leg day struggles, and viral gym pranks before talking about how I/Arend got duped by a fake Back to the Future 4 trailer rumored to star Tom Holland. Along the way, we share Hawaii travel stories including swimming with manta rays in Kona and kick around the idea of recreating classic album covers with ourselves in the spotlight. If you’re enjoying the podcast, don’t forget to follow, rate, and share it with a friend. It helps us grow and keeps the banter coming.

Bad Choices | Scattered Banter Ep. 23

From testosterone tests to party game madness, this episode covers all the essentials. Arend's doctor tells him to lift heavy weights (which Thomas lives for), and Thomas tells a jaw-dropping story of a drunk driver flipping a truck in front of his house—while he was out of town watching it all unfold on his Ring camera. We dive into OK Boomer (thanks for the birthday gift, Thomas) and test our knowledge across generations—turns out Thomas did have a Big Wheel as a kid. But the real highlight? Bad Choices—a game full of outrageous hypotheticals. Would you get pooped on by birds for money? Lose a finger? Dress like a clown and get pummeled weekly? Thomas and Arend weigh the options… and Arend does some very questionable math. 😂 Laugh with us, cringe with us, and definitely question our judgment. If you enjoy the chaos, follow Scattered Banter, share with a friend, and catch extra clips over on TikTok: @ScatteredBanter. Thanks for listening.

It’s chaos, cookies, and credit cards this week. 👖 Arend swears it’s great genes that keep him young… but we’re blaming the sugar and air squats. 🍪 Thomas eats a whole box of cookies in bed. With no regrets. 👶 James had the childhood nickname Bubba, and we have questions. 🍍 Thomas learns what an upside-down pineapple really means… and wishes he didn’t. 🚔 We dive into wild stories of prison guards falling in love with inmates — love behind bars is real. 💪 Thomas debates renting a room to his friend Franco, whose abs are reportedly chiseled by Zeus himself. 🍣 In Japan, you can order a date like takeout. Seriously. 📺 We talk Handmaid’s Tale and why things are feeling… disturbingly familiar. 💻 Millennials are holding down two full-time jobs. Are they wizards or just exhausted? 💳 Credit card points — how to work the system before it works you. 🏡 Why buying a house as a millennial feels like chasing a unicorn. 🤐 And yeah… our parents had secrets. Lots of them. We spill. 📣 Share this with someone who’d rent a room just for the abs. 🌀 Subscribe to ride the chaos train every week. 🎥 And hit us up on TikTok @ScatteredBanter — we’re weird, but in a good way.

Spotify Wrapped | Scattered Banter Ep. 21

In this laugh-out-loud episode of Scattered Banter, we dive into some of the wildest, most hilarious ideas we've ever brainstormed. Feeling overwhelmed by holiday stress? We’ve got the perfect (totally hypothetical) solution: Medically Induced Comas. Sure, the name needs work, but we’re convinced the world is ready for “Therapeutic Sedation” or “Naptime in Nirvana.” Trust us, it’s what the people want—they just don’t know it yet. But the fun doesn’t stop there. We compare our Spotify Wrapped stats, sparking some friendly competition over favorite songs, top artists, and jaw-dropping minutes listened. Who reigns supreme in musical dedication? Tune in to find out. Ever thought about starting a cult? No? Well, we did. Inspired by Netflix documentaries, we lay out our blueprint for a rebranded, supportive cult—complete with Taco Tuesdays, special dress codes, and low-key perks like free childcare and house cleaning. It’s more like a nanny service… with matching outfits. We promise it’s not as weird as it sounds (okay, maybe it is). To top it all off, we share a classic, can’t-miss story about the time grandpa drove to the Wharehouse (yes, that’s spelled right). It’s the unforgettable tale that once closed out a stand-up comedy set and still brings down the house. From ridiculous business pitches to grand ideas for global domination, this episode has everything you never knew you needed. So grab your headphones, press play, and prepare for a chaotic mix of humor, nostalgia, and just the right amount of absurdity. You won’t want to miss this one.

It’s part 2 with stand up comedian Julien Lacrosse and I promise you’re going to laugh uncontrollably. We start off talking about his dislike of comedy festivals and somehow jump to the fact that he has a foot fetish. Ahhh, that’s right, I brought up those pictures of Brie Larson’s feet on my phone. Look it up, I dare you. Next we talk about the time he got into an all out scrap with fellow nerds over a Magic the Gathering trade gone wrong. Yes, you read that right. His Trump impersonation makes a come back several times during the episode and lastly, he shares one of the absolute best stories that was ever told involving his ex girlfriend’s dad and one of their horrific encounters.

Stand-Up Comedian Julien LaCrosse Pt 1 | Scattered Banter Ep. 18

In this episode we sit down with local comedian and friend of the podcast, Julien LaCrosse. For me, this was a great opportunity to ask about his creative process, how he got started, and for him to share some of the best stories I’ve heard in a very long time. Julien tells us about his early years and how advanced math skills and tutoring led to a side hustle selling milks in elementary school and the painful lessons that came with it. We hear stories from the road, his take on the ever popular Matt Rife, how mushrooms led to enlightenment and shedding his ego. All of which set him up nicely to deliver his dark style of humor. Share the excitement with your friends because as this podcast grows, so does the adventure! Join us on this wild ride, and we promise to keep bringing you more jaw-dropping and entertaining content. Thanks for tuning in – you won't want to miss a second of this podcast phenomenon! Thanks for listening!
